I ran outside in a panic because it sounded like something was attacking the hens, I had never heard such a commotion... It was just my BO who had laid her first egg today. OMG she was loud and proud! My BR has been laying an egg everyday for almost 3 weeks and I thought I'll have no idea...
She is acting fine, eating and drinking, seems alert. She did make more of a fuss, as in a lot of squawking, than she usually does when I picked her up tonight to check her over. I honestly do my best to try to look for mites around the vents, but yeah, all those feathers, I barely get a peek...
Well I'm getting worried about my RIR...not even sure it is a RIR...maybe it's just a production red, but I don't care about that. Just worried she is becoming a he.
Here she is at just shy of 7 weeks old. I have noticed her comb growing and signs of wattles and a slight pinking of these...
